is used to get the data of the email message in chunks and in sequential order

from the beginning of the body text to the end of it. <xref href="GUID-64806D92-CDB6-31A9-8F08-D0E876B5CF18.dita"><apiname>PreviousChunkL()</apiname></xref> is

used to get the chunk that is previously retrieved by the <xref href="GUID-977B99AD-A5FB-3606-9043-824E22905604.dita"><apiname>NextChunkL()</apiname></xref> function.

The size of the chunk is specified in the call to the <xref href="GUID-E1CBCDE3-FF5F-3CBA-B3DD-1AB9F58D98F6.dita"><apiname>OpenPlainBodyTextForReadL()</apiname></xref> function. </p> <p>Email

applications must check the length of the chunk populated. If the length is

zero (0) it indicates that it has reached the last chunk of the previous read

operation. </p> </li>
